Lot 401

Rare and Mint State Tranquillina Denarius Tranquillina, Wife of Gordian III. Denarius, 3.30g (8h). Rome, after 241 AD. Obv: SABINA TRANQVILLINA AVG Draped bust right wearing stephane. Rx: CONCORDIA AVGG Concordia seated left holding patera and double cornucopia. RIC 252 (R4). Mint State Very rare, both as a Rome-mint coin of Tranquillina and for its denomination. Cohen 1 values the corresponding antoninianus of Tranquillina at 800 francs, ten times his base price for an aureus of Gordian III, but the denarius of this empress was unknown to him. Gordian III had struck denarii as his regular silver denomination for a few months in 240, but by 241 when he married Tranquillina he had reverted to the antoninianus as standard silver coin, and the denarius had become a rare special denomination probably struck for distribution on special occasions, like the silver quinarius. The surviving Rome-mint coins of Tranquillina can be interpreted as a special issue for her marriage to Gordian in 241, after which her father, Gordian`s praetorian prefect Timisitheus, apparently turned down the honor of coinage at Rome for his daughter, though provincial mints struck for her in considerable volume

Lot 402

Tranquillina. Drachm, 3.35g (1h). Cappadocia, Caesarea, Year 4=241 AD. Obv: CABINIA TRANKV??IN AV Bust draped right, large nest of braids in hair at back, without stephane.

EF Rare silver drachm of Tranquillina at Caesarea. Sydenham knew no silver coins for her at Caesarea, but Sydenham-Malloy 617aa cites a drachm for her, a bust and legend variant of our coin, from Leu 18, 5 May 1977, lot 373, and the Burbules Collection. Recently several dozen further specimens have appeared on the market, but the fourteen in CoinArchives Pro with the same bust type and coiffure as ours, plus nine other such specimens that we have had in stock, were all struck from the same obverse die as the present coin, confirming the rarity of Tranquillina`s silver at Caesarea

McAlee 899Aa (Ex. Rare). Mint State Very rare with ground line, which though normal on the unmarked coins, is usually omitted on the tetradrachms bearing officina letters. McAlee 899Aa records only one coin from officina G with ground line, communicated to him by M. Prieur. Our second recorded specimen is from the same reverse die as that coin, but from a different obverse die

Philip II as Caesar, wrongly with obverse legend of Philip I. Tetradrachm, 10.94g (1h). Antioch, 244 AD. Obv: AYTOK KAI M IOY? FI?I??OC CEB Bare-headed, draped, cuirassed bust of Philip II right. Rx: ?HMAPX - E?OYCAC (sic, I omitted) around, S C in exergue, Eagle with spread wings standing right on palm branch, holding wreath in beak, tip of left wing passes behind left leg. Rev. type var. of McAlee 1012 (Ex. Rare) and Prieur 333A (1 spec.). EF An interesting coin with an accumulation of three rare features. First, on the obverse, the bare-headed, beardless portrait of Philip II as Caesar was wrongly given the obverse legend of his father, Philip I Augustus. Only one other such coin is known, published and illustrated by Prieur 333A; our piece is from the same obverse die. Second, this reverse type with eagle looking right rather than left, McAlee`s Type 2 eagle, is very rare on Philip`s tetradrachms of 244. The other piece with incorrect obverse legend, by contrast, has the normal reverse type of 244, with eagle looking left. Third, the legend on the reverse die of our coin also contains an error, the I having been left out of the word E?OYCIAC. This same reverse die, with eagle looking right and error E?OYCAC, had previously been known only coupled with a correctly labeled obverse die of Philip II Caesar, McAlee 1013 and Prieur 334, and a correct obverse die of Philip I, McAlee 890 and Prieur 322

Rx: ?HMAPX E?OVCIAC V?A TO ? around, ANTIOXIA / S C in exergue, Eagle with spread wings standing right, holding wreath in beak. McAlee 1065c (Ex. Rare). Not in Prieur. EF Very rare left facing, cuirassed bust type showing sword (only eagle-tipped handle visible) borne on belt over shoulder. Only one specimen known to McAlee 1065c, seen in Barry Murphy`s stock in 2003; our coin, apparently the second known, is from the same dies

Chron. 171, 2011, pl. 22, 27i (same dies). Rare antoninianus of Vabalathus as Augustus: with this Victory reverse type Bland found 15 specimens, from six obverse and eight reverse dies. Good VF According to the Egyptian papyri, Vabalathus` revolt against Aurelian began sometime after April 17, 272 and had already been suppressed by June 24, 272: see M. Price in Numismatic. Chronicle 1973. The rarity of the antoniniani and Egyptian tetradrachms of the revolt suggests that it was very brief, probably lasting no more than a couple of weeks

VF25, PMG 1146166-001 Ex Spink’s, 1 October, 2008, lot 1190A RUSSIAN NORTH AMERICA (ALASKA) The Russian American Company was a monopoly that controlled trade in the Russian possessions in North America. Their primary business was trading in furs. It has been written that otter skins were shipped to Russia in waterproof bags made from walrus skins. These used bags, which were called “Kozhanye” or skins in Russian, were then cut into pieces which were used to print money on for in-company usage. Very few of any of the types and denominations are still in existence, with most sitting in museums.

Ex Classical Numismatic Group 94 (18 September 2013), lot 689.The proposed attribution of this type to Evagoras II, originally made in the 19th century, is likely incorrect (cf. SNG Kayhan 1066 for a similar obol historically attributed to Evagoras). Interestingly, although Gökturk 88 retains the attribution to Evagoras II, Gökturk 52, another obol certainly related to this type, is placed at an uncertain mint in Cilicia.

(Jewess described as sitting at foot of trophy) = Santamaria (25 May 1926), lot 236 (same dies); Hendin –; BN –; Biaggi –. Good Fine. Extremely rare, the second known. This piece confirms the authenticity of the previously known example. Future Hendin plate coin. Citing the singular Santamaria specimen as the only example of the type then known, the authors of BMCRE expressed doubt about its authenticity. This doubt was noted by the authors of the revised RIC volume, who went further, calling it “possibly a modern forgery with rev based on bronze IVDAEA CAPTA types.” None of the authors, however, detailed any specific criteria to support their allegations, or even noted that they examined the piece in hand. Nonetheless, the present coin, struck from the same dies as the Santamaria piece, is clearly authentic, thus rendering the doubts of the authors of RIC and BMCRE moot. This coin will be illustrated in the forthcoming 6th edition of David Hendin’s Guide to Biblical Coins.
